Disse to variantene av engelsk kan noen ganger skape forvirring og v\u00e6re en kilde til misforst\u00e5elser eller morsomme situasjoner, selv for de som har engelsk som morsm\u00e5l!<\/p>\n

Hvis noen for eksempel sier bukser<\/strong> i USA<\/strong>mener de bukser<\/strong>, mens det i Storbritannia<\/strong>, bukser er faktisk en forkortelse for underbukser<\/strong> - Forestill deg en situasjon p\u00e5 jobben der kollegaen din gir deg et kompliment og sier: \"Jeg liker buksene dine!\". Du lurer kanskje p\u00e5 hvilke \"bukser\" han eller hun mener?<\/p>\n

George Bernard Shaw sa en gang:<\/p>\n

Amerika og England er to land som er adskilt av et felles spr\u00e5k.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HVA ER ANNERLEDES?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Noen f\u00e5 forskjeller i grammatikk og rettskriving<\/li>\n
  • Uttalen kan v\u00e6re sv\u00e6rt forskjellig, men de fleste amerikanere og briter vil forst\u00e5 hverandre.<\/li>\n
  • Flere forskjeller i ordforr\u00e5d<\/li>\n
  • Noen ord har en eller flere tilleggsbetydninger som er spesifikke for enten AmE eller BrE: en campingvogn<\/strong> \"en gruppe reisende i en \u00f8rken\" (felles for begge variantene), BrE campingvogn <\/b>\"kj\u00f8ret\u00f8y slept av en bil\" (=<\/b>AmE tilhenger<\/b>)<\/li>\n
  • Noen ord har samme betydning i begge variantene og i tillegg synonymer: begge har apotek<\/strong>, men AmE har apotek<\/strong> og BrE har kjemikerens<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Det finnes en liste over ord som er helt forskjellige i AmE og BrE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Disse to sm\u00e5, nyttige tabellene s\u00f8rger for at du kan bruke b\u00e5de amerikanske og britiske engelske termer i ulike hverdagssituasjoner.<\/p>\n

    God forn\u00f8yelse!<\/p>\n
